Skatey Kate Middleton Makes Jan Moir Eat Her Teddy

PRINCE William’s lover, the leggy Kate Middleclass, is, like her man, playing at dress ups. Yesterday, Kate was in the papers dressed as a roller (S)Kate-r.

She was “Disco Queen Kate” (Express); “ECHOES OF PRINCESS DI” (Sun); “ROLLER SKATING” (Sun). And the Mail heralded her on its front page as “Skatey Katy”, looking on as she heading to her roller disco in “sober black boots”.

One day on and Kate Middleton is still in her green spandex top, yellow short shorts and roller skates. Has she been home yet?

She’s on the ground. “KATE IN A STATE,” says the Sun. It’s “Skating Kate’s tumble,” says the Express. And the Mail asks: “Is this a portrait of the future Queen of England?”

Says the paper’s 3am Girls one day on:

“So Cisco participated in his own flashy drinking games rocking up a massive bar bill, unlike Harry who merely cosied up and relaxed with Chelsy. Bless!”

Barbie’s Doll: Helen Mirren Is The Cocaine Queen

HOW does HRH Helen Mirren keep her figure?

Says Helen Mirren in GQ:

“I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a bit at parties.”

Of course, cocaine does not always get you the part, nor does it always make your breasts grow, your hips stay slim-yet-shapely and your hair turn blonde.

But might it help?

Heir Apparent: Sun Stops Publication Of Intimate Prince William And Middleton Shots

TOP news for all you royal enthusiasts that Prince William has NOT tried on all uniforms the country has to offer.

In “SEXY KATE AND WILLS SNAPS STOLEN”, the Sun reports on “intimate” photographs of Prince Wills and his fragrant lover Kate Middleton.

The Sun says the pictures show the couple relaxing on a yacht in the Caribbean (surely hard at work as ambassadors for the country? – Ed), and more.

Rumours abound that in one shot Wills is dressed as a circus ringmaster and Kate as a lion into whose gaping maw the heir will lower himself.

But now “thanks to The Sun”, which refused to pay £50,000 for the snaps, we will not see the images.

The Royal Tattoo: Prince William Gets Ink

PRINCE William wants a tattoo.

A sailor aboard the Iron Duke, on which Wills is appearing momentarily in his guise as a sailor, says so:

“He said the only thing stopping him was his girlfriend. He was worried she would think it was a bit too chavy.”

Better if Wills goes for biro and keep Kate Middle-Class onside, and adapt the tat to fit in with his next jobs of:

Premier League footballer (tattoo of wad of cash), astronaut (mooning backside), security guard (feet on desk), postman (opened envelope), traffic warden (666), King (“NAN”) and many, many more

The Queen Has Her Face In A Cow’s Arse

HER MAJESTY:

As a great admirer of the Royal Family, I was disgusted to see ,that two of the animals in the special Post Office issue of stamps showing rare breeds of cattle had their hindquarters to the Queen’s face. Surely face to face would have been more dignified“. (Letter in Daily Express)

Here are what I believe are the offending cows, from June ’84:

BARRY George, the oddball, has been cleared of murdering BBC presenter Jill Dando. The papers react:

DAILY EXPRESS: “£1M PAYOUT FOR MAN CLEARED OF KILLING JILL DANDO”

The 48-year-old convicted sex offender spent eight years behind bars and is likely to receive at least £500,000 compensation, plus a similar amount from a media bidding war for his story.

BBC: It’s £250,000.

DAILY MIRROR: Barry George in bid for £1million compensation after being cleared of Jill Dando’s murder

Ethnic Cleansing: The Sun Photoshops Prince William

CAN you believe what you see in the newspapers?

Prince William’s campaign to try on every uniform Britain has to offer is a wow – next week it’s baker, then butcher, then cub scout, before a week as a traffic warden in Slough, then a few days as a Beefeater before ending the summer as a lap dancer.

The Sun and Metro, one of London’s top half dozen free newspapers, follows the action as Wills tries his hand, legs and arms in a Navy get up.

He calls it: “A charming piece of ethnic cleansing by The Sun.”

But surely it is the Metro that has seen fit to include in the picture Wills’ valet wearing in the uniform of Brent Council’s Youth Liason Officer Corps.

Prince Charles Follows In Mandela’s Footsteps

NO sooner as Nelson Mandela shuffled off the Robben Island stage at Hyde Park then we get another celebrity birthday do.

The Express lets us know that a “host of showbiz names” are lining up to appear at Prince Charles’s 60th birthday bash.

What starzzzz is unsaid but don’t rule out a Spice Girl representing the world’s statesmen, the left overs of Queen and Sir Trevor McDonald. With a little foresight, Charles could have had a joint party with Nelson.

New Zealand Hail The Great Queen Sheep

IN NEW Zealand:

New Zealand shopkeepers are being fleeced by fake 100 dollar notes featuring a sheep wearing a tiara in the place where Queen Elizabeth’s portrait should be.

Police said the notes, which all bear the same serial number, were crude forgeries but some merchants in Rodney, near Auckland, where they were circulating, were taken in, the Herald on Sunday reported.

Forgeries? Who’s to say how Her Majesty the Queen appears to Kiwi eyes? Anorak has hypnotised the barstaff at the Fox But No Hounds Lap Dance Grille and notes that the former colonials see Her Majesty thus:

Australians – A small bearded German man who looks best in ornamental gardens

South Africans – A figure of all the pastels, like an Opal fruit with a dash of sour lemon

Americans – Huge black ears atop a round face with a button nose and squeaky voice

Zimbabweans – Edible

More as and when we can get the staff

Prince Charles Corks His Aston Martin

PRINCe Charles is green – he’s Brtish racing green.

His car – a humble Aston Marton – runs on biofuel:

“The bioethanol from our supplier happens to be made from wine. I think our wine is surplus English wine. It is wonderful. It is not corked” – Sir Michael Peat, the Prince’s private secretary

Any more down to earth and the prince would be buried alive…

Queen Gets Into Bed With Ronald McDonald

NEWS in the Sun that Her Majesty the Queen has been mingling with a clown-like ginger-haired person in Slough.

No, not Sarah Ferguson, who’s in Hull.

In “BURGER QUEEN – She owns McDonald’s”, Sun readers are invited to get over the paper calling the head of state “She” and focus on the fact that the Queen has her own drive-through eatery.

“Double blow for middle class families,” says the Telegraph on its front page. But this is not time for petty jealousies and laments for David Cameron’s new centre parting, this is a time of joy.

The Express says there to be a Christmas engagement for William and Kate.

With any luck the paper’s sister organ OK! Ya will feature the event over a 78-page photospread, it being what his mother wold have wanted…

On Honeymoon With Peter Philips And Autumn

AFTER selling the rights to their wedding photos to Hello, What Do You Do? magazine for £500,000 Peter and Autumn Phillips are “risking a fresh row” by issuing pictures from their honeymoon promoting the South African resort where they stayed.

The Mail is disgusted and exposes the “five-star Tuningi Lodge”, venue of “candlelit dinners under the stars” and “privately guided safari tours around the 165,000-acre reserve” – “Madikwe is South Africa’s newest game reserve and is situated on the border with Botswana, on the edge of the Kalahari desert.”

Mr Phillips, who is 11th in line to the Throne, is said to have given Indigo PRCo, the publicity company that represents Tuningi Lodge, permission to release the images of he and his bride on honeymoon.

The company issued a Press release to accompany them, titled: ‘Newsflash: Royal newlyweds return from their first African adventure.’

It stated: ‘They enjoyed sensational sightings of elephants, lions, leopards and wild dogs on daily game drives mixed with total relaxation, pampering and delicious cuisine at the supremely comfortable Tuningi Safari Lodge.”

The five-star lodge ensured their first African safari together was filled with romantic touches, organising dinner a deux under the stars, breakfast out in the bush and a private safari guide to maximise enjoyment and guarantee unique memories.’

Of course, had granny managed to hang on to South Africa, the trip would not only have been free but necessitated Peter Philherup accepting a lion’s head and seventeen tribal virgins.

If anyone is to blame for this awfulness it is her…
